Any Coca Cola drinkers?

So, I very seldom drink coca cola (or even soda) anymore but my two brothers drink it alot. Anyway, they mentioned the other day that the coca cola is going flat a lot sooner than it used to. Well, I just cracked one open and drank half of it then let it sit for about 30 minutes before deciding to finish it off. Yep, absolutely flat. Never before has coca cola gotten flat this quick. I swear it seems like they've cut back on the carbonation. Anyone else that drinks coca cola notice this?

absolutely flat

That was one reason I gave up on Coke ages ago -- it would go flat in 15 minutes.

I was an avid Coke drinker until the New Coke fiasco. When they came back with 'Classic', it wasn't. It was not the old Coke. It had a slightly different taste. And it lacked the carbonation.

I haven't bought any carbonated drinks in years.

Drink Diet Pepsi Mini’s in the small cans...They’ve got more Carbonation bite than anything I’ve had...

Can’t afford coke. Sam’s Diet Cola all the way for me!

As a kid, putting a dime into the big red Coke machine at the local gas station would release a single 7 oz bottle of Coca Cola. After opening the ice cold bottle on the machine, and a few gulps later, the perfect quantity of cola sated my thirst. The bottle would go into a wood crate and I’d be ready to continue that day’s adventures.

Switched to the 7 ounce size Cokes, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi some years ago and they seem to stay fizzier longer. VERY much enjoy the newer Cherry Coke!

Stopped drinking it when they started putting it into cans.

Diet Coke is my coffee.

[Dr. Sivana]

I usually don’t drink soda but i have a bunch of “diet coke” i got for free.

Is it bad for you? Should I throw it out?

Diet Coke, unlike regular Coke, has a shelf life. The Aspartame causes problems. Check for an expiration date.

I haven’t consumed any soda in the last 15 years. Don’t miss it at all.

Does it still kill battery acid off my terminals?

Woke-a-Cola exposed themselves as racist, globalist shills when they told their employees to be less white and also tried to force their law firms to hire black lawyers that Woke-a-Cola didn't want to hire.

good stuff

[Allegra]

I’m too white to drink Coca Cola anymore.

[FlatulusMaximus]

Sorry, the only time I ever buy Coke is to remove rust from metal. I respect my body too much to actually drink it.

[Brilliant]

Switched to Sams Cola several years ago.

[Bartholomew Roberts]

That’s my take on it.

[chajin]

I mix my coke with bourbon, never noticed it going flat...

I mix my Coke with bourbon
I've done it all my life
I feel like ol' Dick Durbin
But it helps me view my wife

[Getready]

Me too. The sugared stuff is good enough. The diet isn’t too bad either. Way cheaper, but I drink maybe two cans a week.
No coca-cola brand products of any sort...not giving my money to such obnoxiously “woke” orgs. At least I haven’t seen any lgbt displays at Walmart yet.

I haven’t consumed any soda in the last 15 years. Don’t miss it at all.

I'm the only non-alcoholic I know who only drinks club soda for his carbornated imbibement, though more recently I've occasionally graduated to Pellegrino.
